[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just moved to the county, could someone explain what "2.0" is compared to a regular education?[/quote] 2.0 is a curriculum that MCPS used to attempt to adhere to Common Core. It IS regular education, but the complaints you will hear most often around here are: * It is arguably slower than what came before, in math particularly. The argument from MCPS is that pre-2.0 kids were often accelerated beyond their understanding of the math, and the new emphasis is on building a strong foundation and number sense. * Because MCPS invented 2.0, there are no textbooks. Everything is worksheet-based and the worksheets are sometimes thrown together and contain errors. * Back to math, people think it spends too much time on learning different approaches. Like, kids will learn to multiply in about 15 different ways, again in an attempt to understand the why of multiplication. [/quote]
